Attachment of rooftop ancillary items has always
been difficult and often the source of leaks and
maintenance problems until S-5!
®. Thanks to our
patented round-point setscrews, S-5! clamps will
not pierce the metal roof sheet, or violate system
warranties!
Metal standing seam products represent the
“state-of-the-art” in roofing alternatives today,
offering service life and dependability measured
in decades. S-5! clamps complement these roofs
by providing a dependable way to attach things
without jeopardizing the integrity of the roof
system.
Our broad line of aluminum and brass
attachment products are extremely versatile,
fitting most standing seam and exposed-fastened
metal roof profiles, including most structural and
architectural profiles.
Our clamps and brackets have been laboratory
tested on a variety of seam types, profiles, and
materials to determine ultimate tensile failure
loads. These test results are available on our site
www.s-5.com or through your S-5! distributor.
The S-5! mini clamps have incredible holding
strength, providing exceptional value and
performance for the most common applications.
Having one setscrew rather than two, the mini
clamps are the right choice for attaching all kinds
of rooftop accessories.
Their versatile, simple design and ample size
make the original S-5! clamps so strong they are
perfect for snow retention products and all other
heavy-duty applications.

S-5-PV Kit Solar Attachment
Around the globe, the concept of combining
photovoltaic arrays with standing seam metal roofing
is growing – and for good reasons. A standing seam
metal roof has a life expectancy consistent with that
of PV modules. A 30-year power source, on a 40-year
roof, along with S-5!'s zero-penetration technology
creates the most sustainable roof system available
coupled with alternative power generation!

Wind Protection and Performance Systems
S-5!
®WindClamp is designed to increase roof
system wind uplift performance. The WindClamp
can double wind resistance by preventing multiple
modes of failure. The WindClamp has proven to be
a necessity in some regions, preserving rooftops in
the midst of hurricane weather.
Satellite Dishes
Satellite dishes and antennas can be installed
securely, quickly, and easily without penetrating
the roofing material with our S-5! mini clamps.
HVAC and Rooftop Equipment
S-5! clamps allow HVAC, ductwork, and rooftop
equipment to be mounted to metal roofs without
piercing the roof panels, while still ensuring proper
drainage of moisture and debris. Usual mounting
methods, such as wood blocking, voids roof
warranties by trapping moisture against the panel
surface. Use of S-5! clamps ensures equipment
will not migrate from its intended location, will
not obstruct drainage, and can operate efficiently
without violating the roof warranty.
Attach solar panels, snow retention and wind performance systems, signs, banners, light fixtures, gas
piping, stack and flue bracing, antennas, roof walkways, HVAC equipment, fascias, lightning protection
systems, equipment screens, conduit, condensate lines, and more – all without violating the integrity of the
roof or the roof’s warranties!

The S-5!
®family of clamps attach to the panel seam by inserting and tightening one setscrew for mini
clamps or two setscrews for original clamps. These setscrews will slightly dimple the seam material, but they
will not tear or pierce it. This provides a sound mechanical attachment that will not deteriorate with age.
Go to www.s-5.com/tools for complete installation instructions, information, and tools available for
properly attaching and tensioning S-5! clamps.
Our patented clamps offer durability and reliability unequaled by adhesives that degrade over time with
heat cycles, UV radiation, and ozone. Don’t be misled – one size does not fit all roofs! Each clamp style has
been laboratory tested on a variety of seam types, profiles, and materials to determine ultimate tensile
failure loads parallel and perpendicular to the panel seam. These test results are available at www.s-5.com.
S-5! clamps are designed to have maximum holding strength, while maintaining the roof’s
weather-tightness and preserving the manufacturer’s warranty!
